TO THE HONORABLE JUDGES OF THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS:
COMES NOW, STEVEN THOMAS, Appellant, and files this Motion for an
Extension in which to file the Appellant's Brief. In support of this motion,
appellant shows the Court the following:
I.
Appellant was convicted in the 26th District Court ofWilliamson County,
Texas of the offense of Capital Murder. The Appellant was assessed Death.
Appellant was sentenced on January 27, 2014.
II.
The deadline for filing the Appellant's Brief is October 30, 2015 and
Appellant has requested no previous extensions.
III.
Attorney for the Appellant would further show the Court that he has been
diligent in preparing Appellant's brief in this case. Counsel has received the
voluminous record in this cause, but due to a very busy docket, and extreme size of
the record is unable to complete the Appellant's brief within the time frame.
Counsel requests an extension of time so that he may adequately prepare
Appellant's Brief.
WHEREFORE, Appellant prays the Court grant this Motion and extend the
deadline for filing the Appellant's Brief to December 21, 2015.
Respectfully Submitted,
